From 8ed6a172b35708428f84f30af44fa81c12852e43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2022 22:41:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] lib: do not phrase parse prefixed bracketed subexpressions Since Xapian does not preserve quotes when passing the subquery to a field processor, we have to make a guess as to what the user intended. Here the added assumption is that a string surrounded by parens is not intended to be a phrase. --- doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst | 6 ++++-- lib/regexp-fields.cc | 3 ++- test/T650-regexp-query.sh | 13 ++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst b/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst index e80cc7d0..f8ad1edb 100644 --- a/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst +++ b/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst @@ -275,11 +275,13 @@ the same phrase. - a.list.of.words Both parenthesised lists of terms and quoted phrases are ok with -probabilistic prefixes such as **to:**, **from:**, and **subject:**.
